[jacorb-developer] JacOrb extracting enum values

[Phil Mesnier]

Hi Dimitris,

Can you show us the code that is causing your trouble?

Are you using IDL enums, or Java Enums?

The point behind enums is that they represent an ordered collection of
discrete identities. The values used to represent these identities is an
implementation detail. So it sounds like you are overthinking the problem.
Perhaps for your use case an enum isn't the correct type to use.

Let see your failing code and go from there. Don't just send a line or two,
can you make a representative IDL, Client, and Server that illustrates what
you are trying, but failing to do?
